Ron Oswanski: December's Moon
by Edward Blanco
A modernist with the Hammond B-3 organ, Ron Oswanski introduces himself as leader for the first time crafting a vibrant modern jazz, almost fusion-like in texture, musical experiment on December's Moon. On tap are a host of exciting new originals as well as creative and swinging arrangements of music from trumpeter Kenny Wheeler whose “Kayak, and ...
Enrico Pieranunzi: Live at the Village Vanguard
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nella sterminata discografia di Enrico Pieranunzi, una produzione in alcuni anni forse eccessiva, Live at the Village Vanguard, registrato il 7 e 8 luglio 2010 durante un ingaggio nel famoso club newyorchese, rappresenta bene gli approdi recenti del trio del pianista. Come già in The Chant of Time del 1997, gli sono a fianco Marc Johnson ...
Nicolas Masson – Roberto Pianca – Emanuele Maniscalco: Third Reel
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il ginevrino Nicolas Masson, il ticinese Roberto Pianca e il bresciano Emanuele Maniscalco si sono riuniti in questo trio attorno a un'idea forte. Un'idea magari non così insolita, di questi tempi, ma che riesce comunque a generare una musica di estremo rigore e coesione. La non eccessiva originalità si deve al fatto che non mancano di ...
Trio de poche: Non Raffiné
by AAJ Italy Staff
Trio de poche - potremmo tradurre con trio tascabile - è il nome di questa insolita formazione (sax baritono, tromba, batteria) proveniente dalla Svizzera, e Non Raffiné il titolo del loro disco di debutto. Nomi che giocano sull'ironia, sulla modestia, sull'understatement. Ma non fatevi ingannare, perché se i dieci brani complessivamente non superano i trentatré minuti, ...
Sébastien Bonniau Trio: Inƒundibuliƒorme
by AAJ Italy Staff
Unisce attitudine rock e approccio di derivazione jazzistica la scaletta messa a punto da Sébastien Bonniau per il suo lavoro in trio dal titolo enigmatico Inƒundibuliƒorme. Si tratta di un assetto che fa leva sulle sonorità elettriche del basso di Guillaume Antonicelli e dei chitarristi ospiti - come Frédéric Balsarin che lascia una profonda traccia del ...
Miki Hirose: Scratch
by Dan Bilawsky
Japanese trumpeter Miki Hirose joined the ranks of the relocated in 2003, when he adopted New York as his home; he's been making his presence felt ever since, working with Latin groups, big bands, genre-stretching small groups, and more. He's also logged time with risk-taking heavyweights, like organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, and two elder statesmen of ...
Carl Bartlett, Jr.: Hopeful
by Dan McClenaghan
Alto saxophonist Carl Bartlett, Jr. was pushing his late twenties when he figured it was high time that he put out a CD. Hopeful resulted, and the Queens, New York native proved he was more than ready for the task. Opening boldly, with a five minute sax solo--the disc's title tune--the young artist announces his arrival. ...
David's Angels: What It Seems
by Eyal Hareuveni
The Swedish quartet David's Angels has proven in its debut release, Substar (Kopasetic, 2010), its ability to encompass emotionally charged issues with expressive, storytelling musical articulations. The sophomore release puts this approach in a more demanding test. What It Seems chronicles the demise of a meaningful love affair and its protagonist, singer-songwriter Sofie Norling making the ...

by Glenn Astarita
This quintet was assembled for the recording of this album by young saxophonist Chris Clark, incorporating the talents of veteran saxophonist Peter Epstein who is also the department head for the University of Nevada, Reno where Clark also studied. With his debut effort as a leader, Clark enacts a concentrated focus on the compositional aspects, and ...

Il suo attuale quintetto, con Jon Irabagon al sassofono, Matt Mitchell al pianoforte, Linda Oh al contrabbasso e Rudy Royston alla batteria, è una vera è propria working band con cui il trombettista sta costruendo un progetto coerente e significativo, ...
